    Anyone keen to watch some VAFA footy and report back on Kye? Bonus points for any Austin Bradtke progress reports:

    https://www.vafa.com.au/vafa-tv/prem-b-gf-uni-blacks-v-old-haileybury/

    Early report is I can't believe they played the B grade granny on that swamp of a ground. That's disgraceful.

    With may and Tomlinson being 30 and 29 respectively, happy the club has added to its depth with Jed and is looking at another. If young keys are decent but end up surplus to needs they’re at least a very tradable commodity

    It's called development.

    Looking forward to him playing 8th string backup to Kye Declase

    I skimmed through his VFL debut v Port.

    He played back pocket, took his share of rotations off and at this stage I’d say he’s a tall flanker more than a key position player. Lean and long arms and looks an easy mover who wasn’t troubled for leg speed at VFL level. 

    Some observations:

    Q1: 12:10 1st, lovely easy run from deep back pocket to link up and nail an inside 50 kick

    Q2: 5:12 easy elevation for intercept mark and hits his target with a quick short kick

    27:56 kickout to 65

    28:40 drops a kickout to a lead at 50

    Q3: 1:10 weights a kick to the corridor 

    3:50 reads it nicely for easy intercept 

    16:01 nice strong spoil deep down back

    23:01 long kickout!

    Q4 30:26 nice spoil with the game 22 points the difference, follows up to receive a handball and kicks long and wide  with a safe clearing kick 

    31:30 not as great some of his efforts to secure a loose ball

    Then the game ends on a shoddy too high free kick, with Frankston giving up a 61-16 lead 

    Not a perfectly fluent kicking action but not terrible. Kicks around it like a soccer player and certainly has distance. Interesting they trusted him on debut with kick outs 

    Looks a very natural runner. Solid overhead with a leap so there’s more to work with there. Seems to track an opponent and the ball fairly well. Probably found the pace of the game quick with the ball bouncing around the deck, but on debut that’s not a surprise.

    We all know that not all “he will be a gun” players succeed - Kye may offer yet another option, or as mentioned above, a surplus who we may offer for  trade. 
    Just wondering though, just because he is training with us at this stage, does it in any way tie him to us or us to him?

    Why so many key defenders 

    maybe shuffle the surplus to the forward line

    Should at least be fitter after a preseason.

    No I don't believe so.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
